The Eyes in the Sky!

I've been intending to post this photo since the day after I posted the last message. I was half-dozing in my chair in the afternoon and suddenly woke up to see what appeared to be two demonic eyes glaring at me through the narrow window opposite. By the time I had realised what it was and got my camera ready the cloud formation, with the sun behind it, had moved on slightly, but the two "eyes" are still visible, but not so dramatic as they looked a minute or so before. Also the view shown is much wider than the one I saw framed by the window. One can appreciate from such an experience how people can attribute such phenomena to the actions of supernatural beings, and perhaps interpret them as personal warnings, since they depend on the location of the viewer and would not be seen much more widely.

Cloud Scapes

We have had beautiful cloud-scapes over the sea today. I went out in the morning to deliver some notices about the next Hastings Humanists meeting, and walked as far as the Bo-Peep Pub, but unfortunately forgot to take my camera. There were also some seagulls abligingly posed on the promenade railings, but no doubt they will be there to be photographed some other time. In the afternoon I remembered to take the camera. The chosen photo showing the outline of Beachy Head is almost of painterly effect. Earlier in the day the same view was clear enough to show the light reflecting off the white buildings of Eastbourne, and the clouds were bright and all shades of grey.
